France's railway network is currently experiencing delays following a series of 'malicious acts' targeting its high-speed lines, including arson incidents. The disruptions, which occurred on Friday, have impacted train services, although the situation is not as severe as the widespread outage that occurred the previous day.

The French state railway company SNCF issued a statement on Saturday morning, indicating that 80% of trains are operational today, albeit with delays ranging from one to two hours. SNCF has advised passengers to expect delays on Sunday as well, with normal services set to resume on Monday.
